My officials met with them on an ongoing basis, particularly since the extension of the funding, which I did approve a year ago. But what we've identified, in consultation with the stakeholders, many of whom are key users of labour market information, is that there were other needs that weren't being met. We wanted to explore those.
We need more than data that is already available so we are working with the provinces and territories—with the Forum of Labour Market Ministers, as an example—to find ways that will better meet all of the needs of those who are looking for jobs, those who are trying to prepare students and others for jobs, and employers who are looking to find people.
